Debut album by The Gate, the brainchild of the ex-Running Wild guitarist ''Preacher'' and Guido (ex-vocalist of thrashers The Company). After the short intro (which is based on the main riff of ''Prisoners Of Our Time'') anyone can understand what is coming up. Expect pure heavy metal in the vein of Running Wild, with some NWOBHM moments and influences from the teutonic school of heavy metal (Accept, Grave Digger).
